Five homes were featured on the Home and Outdoor Living Area Tour sponsored by the Women’s Forum and held as a benefit for the Pioneer Museum on Sunday afternoon.The only home entirely up for view was the C.D. Boyd home at 1600 Morris. The uniquely decorated home featured black accents throughout, artwork Boyd has collected from his travels, and varying ceiling heights of 14, 12, 11 and 9 feet.Boyd put much work into the home himself. He built and decorated the home, but did hire a painter from Louisiana to do the Venetian plaster. He also pointed out that all the travertine is imported, including the guest bath shower wall from Mexico and a kitchen centerpiece from Italy.The home also boasts a patio right off the master bedroom, which is also accessible from the rest of the back yard.Boyd, a decorator, real estate broker and home builder said his home on Morris Street was for sale. He finished the home in December.The other four homes included in the tour were all on Vista Court, and their outdoor living areas were featured as part of the tour.
